Warehouse 540 packaging and distribution expansion enters operation

Mennel Milling opened Warehouse 540 at its Fostoria, Ohio, flour operation, adding automated palletizing, packaging equipment, storage, and shipping capacity designed to nearly triple large-format packaging capacity.

The new warehouse supports 25- to 50-pound bags and connects packaging, storage, staging, and distribution. Mennel says the project adds more than 3,500 pallet positions and six dock doors, and its announcement describes the first bag completing the new packaging and palletizing process after installation and commissioning.
